We doubt many dads would let their daughters leave the house with a strange boy on a date - at least not without giving him 'The Talk' first.

This dad, however, decided to go one step further and make his point in a slightly more dramatic fashion. With a gun.

However, while it seems clear that the father intended this to be a joke, many viewers of the photograph have not taken it that way, insisting that gun safety is NEVER funny.

One 9GAG.com user commented: "Getting a little tired from these Americans showing of their guns and "threatening" their daughters dates…"

Another added: "Me too, that isn't even funny"

More and more people joined the debate, with one person sharing some crucial advice for any gun owners out there:

"NEVER point your gun at anything you are not willing to shoot. ALWAYS treat your gun like it is loaded. Holy cr*p people, get it together!"

Nevertheless, some people did manage to find the humour in the situation - and at least one commended the father for being so protective of his daughter.

"He can do a wonderful job raising his daughter, acting like this. Respect sir!"
